Godhead
Malhedron is introduced as a general in Highfather's army. At an assembly of the Council of Eight, he was raked by Highfather with stealing the Red Power Ring from a female human Red Lantern, and he managed to succeed in doing so. [1] He and The Wheel are tasked with retrieving rings from the emotional spectrum. Throughout this arc he questions whether Highfather's quest for a weapon to destroy Darkseid is a good idea. He confides his doubts about Highfather to Dia. Despite helping capture various Lantern Corps members, Malhedron begins to empathize with them. As Highfather tries to blast John Stewart, Sinestro, and Saint Walker with his Emotional Spectrum infused scepter Malhedron jumps in the way blocking most of the blast. He then helps the Lanterns boom tube away to the catacombs of New Genesis. He then resolves to free the other Lanterns and leave New Genesis.
